Comparative Study for S-lay and J-lay Pipeline Installation

发布时间：2021-08-07 09:55

　　Deepwater pipelay has in a few years’time become safe and economical. Although the various installation methods have proven their suitability and each have their specific advantages, selection of pipelay method is dependent on key parameters like pipe type, size and material, barge category, installation equipment water depth and wave & current loading conditions. Between S-Lay and J-Lay, there are significant differences mainly in the system to control the horizontal tension to limit sagben...
